Afternoon, The bit you're looking for is mkdir: cannot create directory `/usr/local/info': Permission denied If you are in chapter 5, something went wrong with your configure command because its trying to install into /usr, which in chapter 5 is still your host system, i'd guess this is where you are because you are logged in as user lfs. If you are in chapter 6 however, you should be root to install diffutils into /usr. Hope this helps.
